Growing Tips

• Sow seeds directly in the garden 2 to 4 weeks before the last expected frost date, or again in late summer for a fall harvest
• Plant seeds about 1/2 inch deep, spacing them 1 to 2 inches apart in rows 12 to 18 inches apart
• Thin seedlings to 3 to 4 inches apart once they reach 2 inches tall to allow roots to develop fully
• Beets prefer loose, well-drained soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0
• Consistent moisture helps prevent woody or cracked roots - water regularly during dry spells
• Roots are ready to harvest when they reach 1.5 to 3 inches in diameter, usually 55 to 70 days from planting
